In addition to being one of the most successful musicals ever made, Aladdin now sits near the top of another genre list.

Among all films in the fantasy genre, the Aladdin remake from earlier this year now ranks sixth all-time. And thanks to $7.5 million from this past weekend, Aladdin just inched past three gigantic movies from the genre: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings and Thor: Ragnarok.

Perhaps that news isn't so surprising, as Aladdin became the most successful film of Will Smith's legendarily lucrative career at the box office. But the feat of passing the first film of the series for both Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings cannot be denied.

While Aladdin has just inched past Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, it has yet to top that film's worldwide gross, along with several other Harry Potter films. Aladdin's $922.7 million falls short of Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2.

And while Aladdin's worldwide gross does manage to edge out The Fellowship of the Ring, it has yet to best The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Return of the King, along with all three Hobbit movies.

In terms of domestic gross, Aladdin still ranks behind Beauty and the Beast (which sits atop the all-time list) and Alice in Wonderland.

Here are the top ten films on the the fantasy genre all-time list:

Beauty and the Beast ($504 million)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($381.2 million)

The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King ($377.8 million)

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ($342.6 million)

Alice in Wonderland ($334.2 million)

Aladdin ($320.7 million)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ($317.9 million)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ($315.5 million)

Thor: Ragnarok ($315.1 million)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey ($303 million)

Now here is that list once we adjust for ticket price inflation:

The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King ($555.4 million)

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ($520.1 million)

Beauty and the Beast ($511.8 million)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ($504.1 million)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ($493.7 million)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($432.6 million)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ($407.2 million)

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe ($407 million)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ($404.9 million)

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ($382.5 million)

As you'll see, Aladdin falls off completely. It actually ranks #16 on this list.
